Missing

Chapter 10

Hey guys :) I decided to do a chapter in Emily's POV as I think it was important to show her side of the events. Thought of trying something new, please do read and I hope you enjoy it :)  ....................................................................................................................................

As I came out the toilets, the hallways were colder than before. A door must have been left open somewhere I thought. I just hoped Mrs Clanks didn't shout at me or anything. I didn't take too long I think.

A strange feeling settled deep in my body and I felt shaky. I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way and walked faster back to the class. I felt like I was being followed by someone and something was breathing down my neck.

I decided to find out what was causing me to feel like this and I turned to look behind me. I couldn't see anything  or anyone, but the air around me felt thicker and I was struggling to breath normally. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and took a few deep breathes.

I opened my eyes slowly and I  regretted doing so. My eyes were wide  as they could be, and I was too scared to move or think. A black shadow  was cast on the floor which resembled a human, but there was nothing there!

It was getting closer to me and then the lights began to flicker making it harder to see what it was. I couldn't scream or run, I felt paralyzed. My mind was hazy and I was feeling sick.

There was sudden pain in both of my arms, like a knife had cut me. I tried to concentrate on my surroundings, but I was  too dizzy. I could make out red on my arms.

Wait, was I bleeding?!

It hurts so much, I can't feel them I remember thinking. I needed to rest....

My body was moving towards something, I didn't have any control of my movements, I was stuck in my own body. My head was hurting, like someone was beating a hammer on my head!

I was gripping my hair at the roots and wished it would go away.

The pain... the pain was unbearable.

My head was pounding and I wanted to rip my hair out, I couldn't take it anymore!

I fell, my knees could feel how cold the floor was. I was clutching my head and I remember screaming.

Why was nobody helping me! Where is everyone?

I was being dragged. I managed to open my eyes I couldn't turn my head to see what is was since I was so tired. My blood was leaving marks on the floor.

I didn't have any strength to keep my eyes open, I tried to, then everything turned black.

My head was banging and I  had no energy to move my body. I struggled to open my eyes and it took a few moments to fully awaken.

I didn't know where I was or how long I was out for. It was dark, very dark. It was cold and I was rubbing my arms to make them warm again.

I could hear some voices, but they were too far away to make out any words. I was leaning against something hard. I touched the wall behind me, it was rough like stone and cold. I could tell I was in a room as there was light coming in from underneath the door.

Footsteps stopped outside the door.

"You think she's awake?" A male voice asked.

A female replied, "Have no idea. She was knocked out quite badly."

"Hmm...let me check." A third voice added.
